As the core of our projects grow, we are continuously looking for high quality partners that are committed to adding value to the blockchain ecosystem.

The Akash Network is a blockchain-powered open marketplace for cloud infrastructure that allows companies to sell space on their underutilized servers to developers eager for a competitively-priced alternative to Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Akash challenges the oligopoly of large cloud infrastructure providers by unlocking the vast amount of underutilized servers sitting in global companies’ on-premise and colocated data centers, making them available for containerized deployments via the Akash Network.

Zeus Protocol, is a 2nd layer network for Ethereum, which focuses on providing the network with key innovations to support applications with scalable computation, interoperability, identity and off-chain information. Their first solution, ZeusID, will provide their partners and clients with decrypted on-chain identity and insightful reputation analytics, which will give them incredible advantages over their competition.

Akash Network’s Chief Executive Officer, Greg Osuri said,

“Decentralized infrastructure has an identity problem and Zeus will help us solve it. It is critically important for an enterprise cloud customer to know the identity of their compute providers and just as important for providers to know who is using their servers. ZeusID forms an essential part of Akash’s identity and reputation score by bringing reliable, real-world third-party data to Akash Network participants.

Both projects have talented and experienced teams, which makes them an ideal fit for a strategic partnership. It became very clear once the two teams met that their interests were aligned. A partnership was quickly formed whereby Akash Network will be utilizing Zeus Protocol’s first product, ZeusID. Both teams are looking forward to helping each other achieve their goals within the blockchain ecosystem.
